Chapter 18

Yashiro was told by the president last night to clear Ren's schedule for at least half of the day because of what happened last night. He pulled an all-nighter to reschedule his already tight schedule. And for the next two days Ren was going to be pulling an all-nighter too because of this. But right now, he was disguised by Jelly and was acting as a butler of his new masters, Mr. and Mrs. Hizuri. The president told him to check on what happened to those two and of course, the precious baby.

He made his way out of the car. Ren called the president last night and told him that they were spending the night there in the hospital because the doctor wanted to monitor the baby for at least 24 hours to make sure he was really okay. Yashiro could imagine how worried they were to be staying by the baby's side all night. He felt like floating just imagining Kyoko clinging to Ren with her worried face. But he sobered up because right now he was their butler and butlers usually looked so serious.

He went to the front desk. "Which room is Hizuri Ren-sama?" He asked the nurse, imitating how Sebastian acts and talks.

"May I ask how are you related?" The nurse asked back.

"I'm the butler of Mr. and Mrs. Hizuri." He stated and the nurse told him the room number and which floor and direction.

He arrived outside the door and stopped. Should I knock first? But I want to surprise them. Or maybe I'll get a glimpse as they kiss. Yashiro's inner fan girl was coming out again. He decided to knock but no one answered. So he slowly turned the door knob and took a peek. He saw Baby Ren's bed and Baby Ren sleeping peacefully on the middle of it. He opened the door wider and let himself in. He looked around for Ren and Kyoko and he nearly squealed like a school girl when he saw them. On the comfy sofa of the private hospital room, he saw Ren and Kyoko innocently sleeping. But their position wasn't innocent at all.

Ren had his back to the arm of the couch. His right leg stretched on the couch, his left leg bended and feet planted on the ground, his right arm on top of the back of the couch and his upper body leaning on it. Between his thighs was a small sleeping Kyoko facing Ren and leaning on Ren's four-button-open shirt chest. Yashiro's blazer jacket that Ren borrowed last night draped from Kyoko's shoulder. Ren's other arm wrapped around Kyoko's waist. But what was the most surprising was Kyoko's arms snaked down under Ren's dress shirt and wrapped around his back tightly and they seemed so comfortable being with each other in that kind of position. Yashiro's jaw dropped down to the floor and his eyes wide as golf balls. After a minute, he recovered and he's inner fan girl came out again. He put on a glove quickly and took out his phone. In a matter of seconds he was all over them snapping photo after photo.

Ren began to stir and shift. Yashiro flip close his phone and went out the door in three seconds. And since then his face was glued to the door listening closely to what was happening inside. He would have remained inside but his instinct told him to flee because just imagining the demon lord look of Ren was enough to make him run for his life.

Ren woke up feeling warm. He looked down and his face lit up instantly. But one slight move of Ren and Kyoko woke up too. She was disoriented and when she looked up she was blinded by Ren's most heavenly smile.

"AH!" Kyoko exclaimed as she quickly turned away from the blinding light. She tried to cover her eyes with his two hands but it was caught on something. "Eh?" She looked at what caught her hands but she couldn't see her hands, only Ren's shirt. She looked at it confused and then looked up at Ren and her eyes widened.

Ren only smiled, tightened his arm on her waist. He expected this kind of reaction from her but it still kind of hurt him inside, the way she suddenly exclaimed and turned away when she saw his face. "Good morning, my love." He said as his other arm tuck a lock of her hair on her ear. Kyoko's wide eyes slowly went back to normal as her wife character took over.

"Good morning." She greeted back with a smile as she slowly pulled her hands out of his shirt. But Ren pulled her closer to him to prevent her from pulling her hands out.

"What? No good morning kiss?" He asked and she blushed. He put on the begging puppy eyes and she could not take his expression. She leaned forward to kiss him on the cheek. But Baby Ren suddenly cried which startled them both. Kyoko was up and by the baby's side in an instant, leaving Ren without a kiss. Ren sighed and followed Kyoko.

Before he could reached Kyoko's side, the door suddenly burst open to reveal a strange man. "Is he okay?" The strange man asked them with a worried face. Only when he spoke they recognized him as Yashiro.

"What are you doing here?" Ren asked the disguised Yashiro. He looked at Ren and then looked back at the door. Kyoko went back to attending the baby as Yashiro closed the door.

"The president sent me to check up on you and to inform you two of your schedules." He replied.

"I see." Ren said.

After a few minutes, there was a knock on the door and a doctor came in. They all greeted each other and the doctor immediately examined the baby. Kyoko was very nervous but when the doctor said that he was all healed up and ready to go home, they all let out a sigh of relief. Ren took care of all the check out paper and they all went home. They dropped Yashiro near LME and the three went home.

Ren took a quick shower when they arrived home and was going to rest for his busy schedule that afternoon but Kyoko insisted on eating first. They ate and Ren said that she should rest up too. Ren went to sleep as Kyoko fed the baby. Then she remembered what happened last night and her best friend Kanae. She looked for her phone but she couldn't find it. It was in her purse last night which was left in the president's mansion. She took their home phone in her hand and dialed her best friend's number.

"MO! It's about time you call me!" Kanae said angrily. "Explain it to me! Where are you anyway? Has he done anything to you so far? Did he force you into doing anything? If he does anything strange to you, tell me okay? How is the baby? Is he okay? Kyoko? Are listening to me? Kyoko!"

Kyoko was currently in cloud nine. She was so happy her Moko-san was so worried about her. It felt like they really are best friends now. She was pulled back to reality when a loud "MOOOOOOO!" pierced her ear. She instinctively pulled the phone away from her ear.

"Uhm Moko-san?" She said.

"Arg! What am I going to do with you? Anyway, is the baby alright now?" Kanae asked.

"Yes, we just got home and the doctor said that he was perfectly okay now." Kyoko cheerfully replied.

"Good." Kanae commented. "I gotta go, let's talk later."

"Okay, Bye, Moko-san"

Two days passed by after Baby Ren got discharged from the hospital, Ren was exhausted because of the packed schedule. The day has come which Kyoko and Ren dreaded the most. It was the day for Kyoko's filming of the lotion commercial. Kyoko was nervous and Ren was fighting an inner war of his own green monster of jealousy. And it was affecting his mood that day. Yashiro usually walked close by Ren's side but that day, he was walking one meter away from him. Even though, Ren was showing his usual bright smile, as a man himself too, Yashiro felt a dark aura boiling and leaking and within him.

Kyoko dropped Baby Ren early at the day care center and prepared herself for the events she knew was going to happen that day. She already formed a character fit for the girl she was playing in the commercial. The only thing she was really nervous was the touching part. She changed out of her disguise and into her regular clothes. She was dropped at LME. The driver would have driven her to the studio where they were going to film but it wasn't the best option for their secret at the moment. It was still early, so she went to the Love Me room to try to relax. It was empty and after staying there for thirty minutes, there still wasn't anyone coming in, so she decided to go or else she was going to be late.

She arrived early and the make up artist ushered her to her dressing room immediately. The make up artist was excited to transform her. The woman first heard talks about Kyoko and when curiosity get to her, she looked her up in the internet. At first, she was confused and searched Kyoko in different types of search engines because the pictures that came out when she search Kyoko were different people. But when she looked closely, she then realized they were the same person. She was amazed and when she heard she was going to be Kyoko's make up artist she couldn't sleep well due to excitement. She was so pumped up to see how Kyoko looked after she transformed her.

When she was done, she looked at her and felt really happy. But it wasn't complete yet. There was still hair and costume. The woman in charged of her hair put a long black wig on her head and put it into a ponytail. Then, she was handed her costume. She was surprised. She had to wear a very short shiny gold skirt and sequenced silver halter top that would show her midriff. She felt herself chickening out when she saw it but willed herself to do it noting in mind the professionalism her sempai taught her. She entered her character before changing so she won't feel comfortable changing. She went out after she was done and she saw the three women who helped her staring in amazement at her.

Please pray for the people in Japan... Thanks so much for continue reading, reviewing, alerting, fav-ing this story… I really appreciate it! Love u guys ^_^ I wrote a poem 2AM Friday, a week before the disaster hit Japan. It kind of disturbed me how it relates to what happened. BTW this poem has nothing to do with this fic...

You never were

You weren't there

To catch me when I fall

To hold me when I fall apart

To lend your shoulder when I felt like crying

Saying "I can't take it anymore!

I can't take it anymore!"

Because the world ain't as pretty as they say

And some people are just too cold to lend you a hand

When they see you struggling by yourself

And some just don't give a damn of it all

When the earth shakes

When the water's up to your neck

When rocks fall

When buildings collapse all of a sudden

When everything's gone crazy

When one by one your loved ones dissapear

So I'm asking,

"Should I still care?"
